The purpose of the Modular HMI System is to allow flexibility of placement of switches on control panels. The system is made up of a controller and several NKK SmartDisplay populated PCBs connected by ribbon cables.

• Single unit can provide user with access to intercom, telephone, radio and alarm systems
• Control board can communicate to a host such as a computer or other controller through the RS232 or RS422/485A
• Images and attributes can be stored on board
• Modular design allows for designers to mount the switches on panels that are not all on the same plane

• Ships, submarines and command vessels
• Retail store pricing displays

An ethernet-controlled display-on-pushbutton system in a compact form factor. Powered over ethernet, it can report switch presses from remote locations to a host.

• System monitoring and control over ethernet connection
• Fits in a standard 1-gang electrical socket
• Real time control by host
• Utilizes SmartDisplay OLED rocker and UB Series pushbutton
• 15 levels of brightness

• Control and monitoring for commercial lighting applications & live entertainment

Power over Ethernet

The SmartDisplay Keypad is a 24 programable display-on-pushbutton system. The SmartDisplay Keypad connects to a PC via USB and is identified as an USB keyboard. Any keyboard functionality can be emulated using the keypad.

• Easily automate routine functions on a PC
• Compatible with any software and operating system
• Set keyboard macros for complex or extremely fast commands
• Macros saved to device let the user move between workstations easily

The SmartDisplay Keypad is ideal for use in applications with multiple, complex functions which would ordinarily require many dedicated switches and complex training. The dynamic nature of the system allows for instantaneous transitions from generalized lists of categories down to function specific actions.

• External keypad for personal computer
• Video game control
